Very good, with honest service wear. The leather shows surface scuffing, edge wear, and light creasing consistent with military use, while remaining supple and structurally sound. Stitching is intact throughout. Interior acceptance and maker/date stamps remain clear. The magazine shows finish wear, handling marks, and light oxidation.
